Good morning!

Reenacting memory: 2024 Change of Command Dinner. Montgomery's Inn, Toronto. This reminds of the novels of Patrick O'Brien. How many times did Aubrey complain about a boorish and boisterous Army Officer?

Reenacting Memory: Change of Command Dinner, February 10, 2024. During my 20+ years in the hobby, these are the gentlemen who have held the role of the overall command in North America. I am honoured to have this opportunity to serve our community in this role!

Good morning! A quick melt!

@privatecannon.bsky.social @drums1812.bsky.social Fun review. This looks interesting. There are a handful of bottles in the GTA.

When we can, we have added a post conference reception. These have been very enjoyable. It returns this year with thanks to the hospitality of FRAM + Slokker!

Re-enacting Memory: 2016 "winter drill" at Battlefield House, Stoney Creek. Got to love those mid winter warm ups! Was -20 C the week before and 10 C on this day. We have not had a thaw/warm-up at all this winter.

It is snowing again! For our reenacting memories, let's look for sunshine, green grass and impossibly hot weather! Crysler's Farm 2024.

Good morning! Snowman is disappearing and not from melting!

Re-enacting Memory: 2008. "I wonder if it is real gold and if we can sell it?"

There is a ship that lost power and grounded on the west coast of Newfoundland. I grabbed this screenshot from a video. The Royal Canadian Air Force lifting off the crew of MSC Baltic III. All 20 crew members were rescued.
